MARKINGS ---
OVERALL loki is not your typical feline. instead of having a shorter and round shaped head, his head is long and sleek, typical to the oriental breed of cat. his fur is short, sleek and flat against his skin, and he prefers it that way. easier to keep clean and easier to maneuver. this makes him look very thin and lanky, and though he is probably thinner than he should be, he is by far not emaciated. his ears are large and almost excessive, coming off of his head like a bat's wings. he is tall, taller than most cats, and he can thank his long legs for that.

WEAKNESSES not very strong physically ; does not handle physical attacks well at all ; tends to underestimate others and get himself into trouble
HOPES to be respected, to be the hero he feels he is
FEARS dying before he can fulfill his glorious purpose
TRAITS confident ; desperate ; demanding ; cold-hearted ; lonely ; superiority complex
confident & superiority complex;
a couple months ago, if you had met loki, you would have seen a soft-spoken and almost shy young feline. that isn't quite the case any longer. he's grown into a very confident person. he believes he can do practically anything without consequence. something that goes along with this is the fact he feels that he is better than everyone else. he has a strong belief that he is a god. he often is forcing others weaker than he (even those larger than him) to crouch before him because he truly feels that is what he rightfully deserves.
demanding & cold-hearted;
loki is extremely demanding, and a tad cold-hearted. he never truly asks for anything, he demands it or takes it himself, whether it will harm another or not. everything has to go according to his plans so he can prove himself. he will take down or kill anyone in his way, despite not being very strong physically. he believes he is burdened with a glorious purpose.
desperate & lonely;
you may be wondering why loki is such a... jerk. he grew up around another young feline named thor, who overshadowed him often. he was just a shadow of his 'brother.' it was soon he found out he was not actually related, but in fact, he was a completely different breed, from a group of cats that his family considered the enemy. he wasn't suitable to be the 'king'- he never was. this broke his heart, sending him into a state of... denial for lack of a better word. he just feels lonely, deceived, desperate for praise and attention... and he's out for revenge.
overall, he's tragically deluded and borderline insane, though he still believes he is a hero. he doesn't act much different around others or alone.
history
it's a showdown and nobody comes to save you now
MOTHER frigga, adopted mother, alive
FATHER odin, adopted father, alive
SIBLINGS thor, adopted brother, alive
IMPORTANT FIGURES none
STORY loki was raised happily in a family of four, himself, his father odin, his mother frigga, and his brother, thor. they had many underlings, but they were not their immediate family.
his life wasn't bad to begin with, he didn't have any extraordinarily awful experiences, but he did banter with thor quite often. they were far from enemies, just brothers, eyes both on the throne of the pack of cats. only one of them could be the successor. no matter how many playful competitions the two of them held, all in good fun, loki lost more often than he won.
self esteem lowered substantially, as they grew, loki struggled to be good enough. to be better than thor, to be worthy of the throne. that never happened. thor was named the successor as soon as they were of age.
loki was upset, yet happy for his brother. but, how could he dispel the anger? the jealousy? he had been meant to be king. but it wasn't until cats of another pack attacked, and thor took them to their land to fight.
he found... he was the enemy. he'd always been the enemy. after the fight, heartbroken, loki confided in odin. it had turned out that odin had taken him when he was just a kit, to bring peace to the two packs one day. loki never had a chance of being a king. how could the enemy lead the pack? he left after that, devastated, the bitterness growing, a new goal forming.
he was born to lead.
